A SECOND DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS HAS BEEN SET TO 30th SEPTEMBER 2006:

Due to increasing size and scope of the NATO-ASI event (MEGREC network
Board Meeting, INTERNATIONAL GREEN NETWORK meeting), a second deadline
is set to the 30th September to benefit the largest number of students.
Those who applied within the 31st July deadline can remain assured that their applications will have
priority over those received within 30th September.
